Memoir chronicles the adventures of a couple as they navigate life between two opposite sides of the world
KERIKERI, New Zealand, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After Tucson Book Festival (March 9 and 10) and L.A. Times Festival of Books (April 20 and 21), Julia Giacomelli's memoir "The Golden Sands Of Change" (published by Xlibris NZ) will be heading to the 2024 Miami Book Fair which will be held in November 17 to 24.
This memoir unfolds as a love story between Giacomelli, a native New Zealander, and Franco, a charming Italian. Their life begins in Italy where they exchange vows and start a family. As Julia immerses herself in the vibrant Italian culture, she encounters humorous challenges, from struggling with the local language to adjusting to the Venetian way of life. Their visits between New Zealand and Italy becomes an annual event, until, eventually, the family decides to transfer to New Zealand. So now, it is Franco and their daughters who have to adjust. They continue to visit Italy to keep their familial and friendship ties strong.
"I believe (the book) shows just how challenging it is to join another nationality and yet how incredibly opening life becomes after such an experience," shares Giacomelli.
"The Golden Sands Of Change" is a tribute to Julia's love for Italy and her magical experiences while living there, and on her frequent visits back. Through her story, the author shows readers the beauty of embracing new cultures and connections.
